Risk Management and Insurance

The
Department of Risk Management and Insurance is responsible for the
comprehensive risk management program that is in place to protect and
insure the assets of the County of Sullivan. The
Risk Management and Insurance Department oversees various employee
benefit programs such as; health insurance, dental insurance, vision
insurance and voluntary (member funded) programs. This office also administers our retiree health insurance benefits for our 300+ retirees. The
Department of Risk Management seeks to reduce the County’s total cost
of risk. Where appropriate, we place the responsibility for potential
loss on other parties through the purchase of commercial insurance
coverage or contractual obligations. The Risk Management and Insurance Department also administers the Self Funded Worker’s Compensation Program. This
program covers the County employees, the employees of the Community
College, as well as the employees of the Town, Villages and Fire and
Ambulance companies in the County of Sullivan.
